Last Wednesday through Friday, I was at Millsaps College to give a talk and work on a new project.

This visit was the result of being awarded the Juror’s Prize at the “Bookish” exhibition hosted by Purple Word Center for Book and Paper Arts and on display at the Lewis Art Gallery in Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. Purple Word is run by Millsaps Professor of Art Sandra Murchison. Thank you to Sandra and everyone at Millspas for an incredibly productive visit! I had a great time.

Millsaps College campus is wonderfully small…

One of the few times I actually get to see my work in a group exhibition…

The Lewis Art Gallery is very spacious, on the top floor of the Humanities Building…

My work in the exhibition…the show is beautiful! Some really amazing books, as someone who is new to making books, I was taken aback by the quality of the work in the show, and humbled to win this award…

There were books like this, which are more like sculptures than books…amazing!
